WTF is going on with the forum? How could it have suddenly broken?

In retrospect I think this is what is happening:
There is a message post. If the user goes in to edit the post and is finished before the minute of the post time changes it resets the post time to the end of the minute. This allows anyone else who posted within that minute to appear before the person doing the editing - if that makes any sense at all

I disagree, Clair de Lune in the thread also snuck in between me, and I did not edit my posts. Also, this theory does not hold true on the instance where he quoted the person under him, both of whom did not edit their posts.

The only reasonable explanation is that Clair de Lune is secretly John Titor.

Damn, so much for my powers of observation

On the plus side, it makes reading threads so much more interesting

It means "we know the word before this is misspelled / bad grammar, but it's a quoted reference, so we're leaving it in" as I understand it.

purdy [sic] much...


sic ? \?sik\ adverb [Latin] (circa 1859): intentionally so written ? used after a printed word or passage to indicate that it is exactly as printed or to indicate that it exactly reproduces an original (Ex. Tom said he seed [sic] it all).

I see it all the time on sites like Engadget and Gizmodo but have no clue what it's there for.

[sic] in a quoted article indicates the word before it is an error, but has not been changed to perserve the full integrity of the quote.

Greater than everything

The first time I saw it, it was sent from my sister's boyfriend to my sister. I always figured it meant it was greater than getting head.

I assume you know this, but * is a wildcard, so that's where the all comes from. (copy c: *.jpg d: )will copy every file with the .jpg extension on your C drive to the D drive.

rofl. hax!

 

[acheron]

sic doesn't "stand for" anything, it's a Latin word that means more or less "thus". Plenty of other people have said what it means when you see it in a quote.
